Plastic and Composite Doctor Blades

STRAIGHTPOINT™ Doctor Blades by Zenith Cutter are the smart choice in the selection of doctor blades for a variety of printing applications. With growing graphics requirements and economic pressures, selecting the correct doctor blade for your application is critical to ensure the delivery of a consistent ink or coating film thickness from the anilox cylinder to the printing plate.

In general, doctor blade choice depends on factors as simple as the purpose of the blade (whether it is for Metering or Containment), and as complex as graphic requirements, print, viscosity, substrate, anilox surface, temperature, speed, run length and safety. While achieving maximum blade life is important, selecting the correct doctor blade for your application is crucial to prevent inferior print quality, accelerated blade wear and anilox damage.
